Frankly, I think I was pretty much where Andy is. I mean, aren't we storing 'only position / sizing (in other words UI) details' in the schema ?
Storing the database structure in the schema (and not reading it from the database) is going to be quite futile for me personally ... you know 'managing two schemas' issue.
Or did I too get it wrong ?

I got the impression that it wasn't the actual structure of the ER
diagram itself that was going to be stored (on the grounds that will be
gleaned from the database schema itself) but what _will_ be stored
stored is metadata about the diagram, such as positioning and sizing
information for each element, or did I jump to conclusions?
